The only missing piece is being able to add contacts to your roster other than through the mesh view. Sugar *is* a jabber client, not only Chat but the whole sugar/sucrose. Chat is used to chat (!) with your contacts, the mesh view is your buddy list and VideoChat is suppose to be used for... audio/video chat. The Telepathy framework offers you the possibility to split the different features of your client (roster, chat, audio chat, logger, etc) into different applications. One big missing piece is the ability to add contacts by entering their jid and UI to accept/decline friend requests. This is https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8841 Another one is the ability to run more than one account/connection. Main problem here is the UI. How should we display that? Tabbed mesh views maybe? Once this is done, you'll be able to use your normal IM accounts on Sugar and be able to chat with them using Chat, send them files using journal object sharing and call them with VideoChat. Actually, as Sugar is using Telepathy, it's much more than a Jabber client. By being a real Telepathy client, it could become a IRC, MSN, SIP (or whatever protocol) client! I talked about that during one of my Sugarcamp conf: http://people.collabora.co.uk/~cassidy/talks/sugar-camp-futur-of-collab.pdf We'll be happy to help any contributor interested in working on this. Just come and say hi on #sugar or #telepathy. But *please*, let's not waste time and resources on implementing a gajim or pidgin activity. We already have an existing flexible and performant IM framework; we just need to integrate it properly in Sugar to offer a rocking user experience. G.

Re: Jabber client activity
Mildred, Chat is a jabber client. Also other people have gajim and or pidgin running okay and no problem with saving configuration. /Robert H.

Re: Jabber client activity
Mildred, Yay! I'd suggest putting it up on a Gitorious repository in case anybody wants to jump in and help. Thank you!

I guess, but I have absolutely no idea on how to configure where you put your jabber id and your password. So far, I thought it was only useful inside the mesh networking. By the way, I just created a Gajim activity inspiring myself from the Firefox activity, and it seems to work even if sugar integration could be pushed further. If anyone wants it I think I can put it somewhere.

Mildred, In the Control Panel, select Network and then in the Mesh server field put the server name. /Robert H.
